Liverpool's perfect Champions League start ended in a chaotic 3-2 defeat against Fenerbahce in Istanbul. Despite Alexander Isak's early goal, Fenerbahce twice came from behind to secure victory. Former West Brom trainee Archie Brown equalised after Isak's strike, while Vedat Muriqi headed the winner.
Liverpool's 19-year-old Trey Nyoni, making just his seventh Champions League appearance, scored his maiden goal and became the competition's second-youngest scorer. However, the team lost control, with Mason Greenwood scoring a deflected free-kick and poor defending plaguing Liverpool throughout. Manager Andoni Iraola's decision to rest key players backfired as the side struggled with unfamiliar roles and a febrile home crowd.
Nyoni shone composedly, but defensive errors proved costly in a harsh result for the visitors.
